Decision

FCPOS decided the best option for displaying the data would be the 10 category Quantile approach. This shows the top 10% of the parcels as the highest.  I am currently working on updating all the maps and will post the final maps when they are all done.

FCPOS meeting

I had the meeting with the FCPOS on Thursday 11/15. We went over the different options for map. They seemed to like the 5 categories option, but also liked the quantile map as well. They are discussing the options and will get back to me. I also presented them with the steps to join a table to Arc. This will help them in the future if they need to update the maps.

Update

I have completed the options for the map classification and have set up a meeting on Thursday November 15 with FCPOS to discuss which option will be best. While waiting on the answer, I will be working on creating a step by step sheet of how to join the excel file to ArcGIS so that the FCPOS can update the map if new information was to come in.

After Thursday's meeting, I should be able to move forward with changing all the maps over to the desired classification. After that I can work on the map poster.

These are examples of the Total Resource Value map and how displaying the data can give a different view of how Western Clifton Park's total resouce value is.
